It does take full effect Jan 2012 but there is a weening period from sept this year. Basically if your having a Cage fabricated they'd like them to be of the new shedule J

All conversations I've had with any of the cam tech guys they are trying to get everything sorted around sept this year to prevent all sorts of dramas with "old" cages come Jan next year.

Its funny to hear the Talk about IPRA hating Late Turbo cars. WA went from the Top LMT state in Australia in 2010 to often not seeing any race this year.

We want to run HMSS but it looks like we will run 3D Streetcars.

My GTiR is 3J Logbooked but theres just no way we can race in a class that so badly does not want us.

I can't even start to explain the pain involved in Turbo IP cars.

pretty sad outcome considering the effort you put into those cars, and the results they were getting. a turbo car won the ipra nationals this year too...but I hate to think how much that win cost

Cost About the same as House 20min out of city center.

What led to the outcome,2 X Prodrive Engines etc, Huge Input by Racetorque and many years of trying, Mrs Tander to have Engine management issue, Ray Hislop had problems and the Cherry Monaro and said Turbo car coming together at the end of the 1st lap as the Monaro was passing ending up with the Monaro well off the track so a very good drive in a very good car and a Shed load of Luck.

All the fast LMT IP cars need 2 engines on rotation etc etc.

Under 2ltr IP is perfect, Overs is doomed.

so if i understand, a bond bolt in cage is still OKAY this year, and can be log booked but not after 31st of DEC? so as long as i get it done before then? or no?

Cheers

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
